What would you grade this one? In hand photos followed by sellers photos.

It's a nice looking coin with the beginnings of a circulation cameo. The arrows & rays varieties have always appealed to me.

I'll go F12 range.

Your photos are much better than the sellers.

wow the surfaces look completely different than the sellers. your in hand photos look like a cleaned coin whereas the sellers looks original.

if I was just using your in hand photos i'd say VG details (cleaned)

panzaldi, I thought the sellers photos showed a cleaned coin. In hand it does not look cleaned.

Still has face details, acceptable surfaces, collectable condition.
A keeper at F12.

apologies IGE, I read the post incorrectly. I thought the initial photos
were the sellers. old age is tough

I'm at F12 and a good lesson on how photos can really alter what you see
